Your Lack of Success in Muscle Building or Fat Loss May Not be Your Fault….

Wednesday, November 25th, 2009

There is an abundance of mixed information out there for both losing and gaining muscle, which ever your current goals may lie in. Unfortunately although there is a lot of good stuff out there, the majority of the information is absolutely useless! This is a huge reason why people struggle to achieve any good results in fat loss or muscle building. Alot of the time it really isn’t your fault that you are failing to reach your potential, it is down to being given bad information and advice.

The huge growth of the internet over the last few years, has made it possible to find out near enough anything you want, but only if you know exactly where to look! The fitness industry is a huge business,with ALOT of cash being thrown around, and unfortuanely due to this you are not always getting what you are led to believe that you are…

The fitness industry has become a billion dollar market, with big companies spending millions onmarketing and sales to bump up their profit margins, and they are very good at it! They are experienced and ruthless, they will make all sorts of promises to get you to hand over your hard earned cash. The supplementation company is one of the worse, trying to sell you products that “guarentee” you miracle results. The only guarentee that you really have is that willlead you disappointed! That is not to say that all supplements are useless, there are a small few products that may help improve your results, but even these can be done without.

Another problem which you may have is following the latest big thing in dieting. Alot of which will only give you short term results, that do not last. They involve following some crazy diet theory, which will just be impossible to stick to long term, and more than likely will leave you worse off than you were in the first place!    

When it comes to building muscle, it is easy to think that advice given by a guy who seems to have achieved excellence when it comes to their own body will work the same for you. When in fact you may end up trying to follow a plan that is either designed for a seasoned bodybuilder, or even a drug user! A routine that may be ok for a competetive bodybuilder with years of training behind them, will not work for a normal person.

I myself have made every mistake in the book, due to following bad advice and buying into numerous miracle products (the miracle was they didn’t work!). I eventually, after many painstaking years, and more cash than i’d like to remember, managed to sift through all the b.s and find what worked for me. By me I mean an average guy, not a genetic freak who can easily build muscle and lose fat at the same time and not a drug user. Once I had thrown out all of the useless info, I realised that the basics that had been used for years were what a normal guy like me need to concentrate on.

I have now managed to shed my unwanted body fat, and build lbs of new muscle, and all it really took was a bit of dedication and sticking with good training and diet practices. I’m now trying to use my blog to share all the great information that is out there with you. I want my blog to be a source of good information, that isn’t designed  toencourage you to buy the latest supplementation product available, but instead is designed to help the average person to achieve the results that I have managed to achieve myself. So please pay us regular visits, so I can pass my knowledge on to you. If you have any questions or would like any advice on a particular subject, please send me an email and I will try to resolve them for you in future blogs.

I have mentioned recently that I’m working on a bit of a project at the moment, which I am very close to finishing. Stay tuned and I will reveal all in then next couple of months…
